A hearty and flavorful breakfast that combines the comfort of oatmeal with the bold flavors of a burrito. This recipe is a fun twist on traditional oatmeal, perfect for busy mornings or weekend brunches.

Ingredients:

  • For the Oatmeal:
    • 1 cup rolled oats
    • 1 cup water or milk (or a mix of both)
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
    • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
    • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • For the Beef Filling:
    • 1 pound ground beef
    • 1 onion, chopped
    • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
    • 1 teaspoon chili powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
    • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
    • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Apple Compote:
    • 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced
    • 1/4 cup water
    • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Beef Filling:
    • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, onion, and bell pepper. Cook until browned and crumbled, breaking up any large clumps.
    • Drain off excess grease. Stir in chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Oatmeal:
    • In a medium saucepan, combine oats, water, salt, cinnamon, cumin, and chili powder. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
    • Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
  3. Make the Apple Compote:
    • In a small saucepan, combine diced apples, water, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until apples are softened and the sauce is thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Assemble the Burritos:
    • Divide the oatmeal into bowls. Top with a generous portion of beef filling and a spoonful of apple compote.

Tips:

  • For a spicier kick, add more chili powder or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the beef filling or oatmeal.
  • Customize your oatmeal with other toppings like nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit.
  • To make this a heartier meal, serve with a side of scrambled eggs or Greek yogurt.
  • For a fun twist, try using different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or pepper Jack.

Enjoy this unique and delicious breakfast!
